Most people dont know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands.In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) or people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one persons rubbish into someone elses useful things and cut down waste, too.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。( )36.What do many people do with old computers?A.They repair them.B.They sell them.C.They send them to others.D.They stop using them.( )37.How many computer companies are mentioned in the second paragraph？A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.( )38.According to the laws in some countries, computer companies must _.A.recycle most of their productsB.collect all their used productsC.repair and upgrade old computersD.make more cheaper computers( )39.What do the organizations do to solve the problem of old computers?A.Help the computer companies to collect them.B.Repair and send them to those who need them.C.Help people to learn to use them.D.Turn rubbish into useful things.( )40.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Repairing old computers.B.Encouraging to make cheap computers.C.Recycling old computers.D.Helping those who need computers. (B)One day, I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying,“You dont say! You dont say!” I was puzzled(困惑的), and I thought, “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”“Certainly. When Im back home, everyone will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!”“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, “You dont say!”I couldnt help asking,“Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didnt ask you to do so.” he answered, greatly surprised.“Didnt you say You dont say!?” I asked again.Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain,“You dont say!means Really? Perhaps you know little about English idioms(习惯用语).”Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F）。( )41.The foreigner didnt want to listen to the writer to talk about how he was studying English.( )42.The writer was puzzled because the foreigner knew the Great Wall very well.( )43.The foreigner thought the Great Wall was wonderful.( )44.Perhaps the story happened in China.( )45.When the foreigner used the idiom“You dont say!”, he meant“Stop talking!”(C)Air pollution comes from factories, power stations and cars. Chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage（损害；毁坏）. They can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground in the rain. And this “chemical rain” gradually（逐渐地）destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes. In Germany, over 50% of the countrys trees had been damaged by the year 1986.Time and time again there are serious accidents that pollute the air. In 1986 there was a serious accident at a nuclear power station in Russia. A cloud of radiation flew across the whole Europe. It is said that 125,000 people died in Russia as a result of illness caused by this accident.In 1984 there was a serious accident at a factory in India and a cloud of dangerous gas covered the town of Bhopal. Over 2,500 people were killed that night, and hundreds of thousands of people were injured (受伤的). Many of the injured lost their sight.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。( )46.Air pollution comes from _.A.factoriesB.power stationsC.carsD.all of the above( )47.According to the passage, which sentence is TRUE?A.Chemicals in the smoke from power stations cant travel far in the wind.B.“Chemical rain” is good for the trees.C.Chemicals in the smoke from power stations are very safe.D.“Chemical rain” is bad for our environment.( )48.In Germany, how many trees had been damaged by the year 1986?A.A quarter.B.A hal
